Augmented reality

For builders and developers, AR facilitates the use of wearable technology and 360-degree video to enable 3D visualization of future projects in their surrounding environment, automated measuring of buildings, fast and affordable simulation of architectural and structural changes

Building information modeling (BIM)

BIM allows users to generate computer renderings of buildings and utilities. The ease of managing these models and sharing data can enable superior prefabrication of parts, leading to on-time and accurate completion. 

Green Building

Green building and the concept of green building is something that is gonna be followed highly in the coming years, with the clients/buyers also factoring in what kind of space they wanna be situated with.
